I’ve watched so-called Republican leaders—and you know who they are—virtually smirk on network TV when the question of a contested convention comes up. I’ve watched them talk about “tradition” and “party rules” and “proper order” when the question comes up “what if Donald Trump comes to the convention with almost but not quite enough delegates but a substantial lead over the rest?”

Yes, we all know there are a thousand ways to screw somebody who has the most delegates out of the nomination at a “contested” convention.

It’s even been done once or twice. By what passes for leadership of both parties.

They—and, again, you know who they are—may think of the Republican party as their own private club, but if Trump gets to Cleveland a few delegates short of the nomination and, say, Paul Ryan ends up being the GOP nominee, it WILL be their own private club. Them and the six other people who give a rat’s ass about their little private club.

Because everybody else will be busy forming a new coalition.

It may take a few years of Hillary as President, but something newer and better will emerge because the actual voters have had enough of sleazy lawyer tricks from the likes of the GOP establishment and are perfectly ready to deal it a fatal blow.

And, by the way, the Democrats have a similar problem.

Frankly, the actual voters know that—in the words of the 1800s—the GOP establishment is composed of a bunch of worthless fops and dandies who actually think of themselves as being somehow above the voters. Who do you think came up with the term “low information voter”?

Their problem is that the voters are not nearly as “low information” as they think.

Donald Trump is leading because they are a bunch of liars and do nothings. They’ve had plenty of chances to walk the walk but all they can do is talk the talk. How else can they explain the fact that Trump and Ted Cruz together represent a huge—to coin a term—majority of the primary voters so far?

And, by the way, that goes for both parties. I don’t agree with much of what Bernie Sanders stands for but he is where he is because the Democrats have their own bunch of fops and dandies running their party as well.

If Trump or Cruz (depending on the final vote count) do not end up with the nomination in Cleveland than there will be no Republican party.

Now, let’s talk about Trump’s “bad week” according to the gospel of the drive-by media.

Trump was asked by Chris (I have a thrill running up my leg from Obama) Matthews a hypothetical question. If abortion were made illegal, what of the women who got one. Trump answered that there should, in that case, be some punishment.

Well now.

That is the absolute correct response.

And screw anyone who says they are pro-life but does not agree with that.

Abortion on demand after the first trimester for the purpose of birth control is murder. That’s the conclusion one can easily make from Roe v. Wade. So, since when is saying exactly the correct answer a gaffe? And since when do we not punish murder?

Only on this planet in front of the drive-by media which thinks that it’s OK to kill anything it doesnt think is important. After all, it’s not a baby. It’s “fetal tissue.”

It’s hard to see where that makes it a bad week for Trump. And if it’s a bad answer for Trump, imagine what Ted Cruz would have said to the same question.

Face it, folks.

If it’s not Trump, it’s Cruz.

Either way, the fops and dandies of the GOP are on their way out.
